Spaces & Setups

I currently use a Sonos Arc setup with two Sonos Subs in the same room, and the improvement in bass distribution is fantastic. However, in larger rooms or more acoustically challenging environments, the ability to add a third (or even fourth) Sub would be extremely valuable.I’d love to see Sonos expand the current limitation and allow more than two Subs in a single zone. This would open up new possibilities for advanced home theater setups and professional installations.Is this something Sonos is considering for future updates? I know many users with larger spaces would benefit from this flexibility.

I recently purchased the in line  3.5mm headphone to usb-c adaptor so could connect my headphones to the Apple 16 iPhone. However, it does not work. The sound just plays on the phone. Have I purchased the wrong adaptor

Bonjour j’aimerais un pack surround dans mon salon avec labarre de son arc, un hub et j’hésite entre des era 100 ou era 300. Ma pièce fait 36 m2 (salle salon ) 

Well it has happened again.  Tunein will not work with sonos.  I have been having the problem for about a week now.  This happened about a year ago also.  Anytime I try to connect to any tune in station or podcast I get commercials on a loop. Deleting account, reathorizing does nothing.Same old sonos,  same old garbage !!

Hi Sonos,I’m experiencing the same issue that user CarlDemus mentioned with the Sonos Arc.I honestly didn’t expect this kind of sound quality concern from Sonos. Compared to my 65" Samsung TV speakers, the Arc’s sound comes across as thin. I really noticed the difference when I compared it side-by-side with my Bose Smart Soundbar 700. The Bose was connected using an optical cable, and the Sonos Arc through HDMI eARC, so I could switch between them instantly.To be honest, the difference is significant. At 40% volume on the Bose and 75% on the Sonos Arc, the Bose still sounds fuller and richer. It makes me wonder if my Sonos Arc might be defective. One night, I turned off the Arc and continued watching using the TV’s built-in speakers — and the TV sounded louder and more present. That was extremely disappointing, especially after seeing so many positive reviews online.At this point, I’m frustrated and unsure if this is a unit issue or a general sound profile characteristic of the Arc. An

I have a big elongated room with 6 speakers (high school youth group room). There's an 85in TV on one side of the room. We are running the 6 50w speakers off the sono amps (3per channel). Does it make sense to add a Sonos Beam under the TV to use exclusively for TV sound and let the Sonos Amp power the 6 overhead for music/etc?

I am looking at changing my TV currently I have a Samsung QLED and recall when first linking it up to Sonos it was quite a chore. I have heard Sony is the best for Sonos for ease and quality would this be true. 

Dearcan i connect Sonos Zp 100 with Sonos sub If do how does it pl 

Why I cannot use the forward button with calm radio. I only have stop option available

Hej jag tillhör den äldre generationen och är 63 år och inte så bekväm med det tekniska. Frågan är om det skulle finnas en vänlig själ som skulle vilja hjälpa mig fysiskt att få rätt på mitt sonos system som består av 2. St era 100 och 2 st. Play 1 en sub mini och en beam. Givetvis mot en rimlig ersättning. Jag befinner mig i Malmö. MVH Stefan Larsson 

I have a Play 5 that I want to connect to my Port (via RCA cable) which is connected to a turntable as the source. Doing so I hear no output from the Play 5 speaker.  Do I need to connect an amplifier between the Port and the Play 5? I am trying to find a use for my Play 5 since it is an older model and not compatible with the newer equipment I have. The Port correctly broadcasts to my other Sonos speakers in the house. I thought I could hardwire the Play 5 and use it as well.  No?

Well the Sonos saga continues. I lost Alexa connectivity a week ago. Since then I've changed broadband provider and router. The usual Sonos nightmare began. Difficulty connecting Sonos One to the new router, 1 still won't connect.Alexa connects, but with no functionality. Won't play radio or music and showing off-line in Alexa app.Why is Sonos such a nightmare to do anything with. I may give up and by a few Alexas and save the hassle.Any ideas????

About 4 weeks ago Alexa says “playing Jimmy Buffet on Pandora, hmmmm I’m having trouble playing that right now”Disconnected my router, unplugged my Sonos speakers, unlinked then relinked Amazon music and Pandora in the Alexa app, deleted the Alexa app and reinstalled it. Can’t get Alexa to play any music. Anyone have similar problem? Or fix?

Is it true that the iOS app and the soundbar have to use the same SSID even 2 SSIDs are on the same network?

Hi all, so I am dealing with an extremely frustrating issue involving connected services in the app.  One particular account (Audible) wasn’t working right (would only list items in my subscribed library but not play them) and so I figured I’d remove it and re-add but all the Sonos Android app does is give an error saying the account can’t be removed.  Nor can I add another instance of (more errors).  I tried the same on another phone.  I also tried the Windows app and it shows all my other connected services but not this one.  Trying to add it again in the Windows app also results in errors.  Why is Sonos being so stupid about this?  Tech support did not provide any solution and I’ve done all the useless restarts of routers, apps, etc.  Is there really no way to force remove a bad service connection from the list?

Can’t get the microphone to work so not able to connect using alexa

I had my Sonos Arc Soundbar receive commands for Hunter Douglas shade operation.  Alexa still responses to commands but in Alexa is completely silent during operation, no sounds.  It had been working for years but suddenly a couple weeks ago it remains silent.  It’s nice to here the activation sound, not hearing it I don’t know if the command was received.

The phone calls on ACE are not so great, i’m coming from a Jabra which were better with the boom. Im hoping there is a small usbc boom mic i could use into the ACE, similar to https://www.sennheiser-hearing.com/en-CA/p/hd-500-bam/cmfl7c8rilqh007umr1do6wyc/

Hi everyone,I’m trying to decide between the Sonos Arc and Beam Gen 2. I can get both for roughly the same price (Arc is actually €50 cheaper), and I’m finding it hard to choose.A bit about my setup: TV: 65″ with HDMI eARC Room: Medium-sized living room Use: Mostly Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, movies, and music Here are the two options I’m thinking about: Beam Gen 2 + Era 100 pair + Sub Mini Arc standalone bar and later add  Sub Gen4 Arc + Sub Gen 3 or 4 now, and maybe add Era 100/300 as rear speakers later I’m looking for good movie immersion, clear dialogue, and solid music performance without going overboard.Given my TV and room size, would you go Arc now or Beam + surrounds? Any advice or real-world experience would be super helpful!Thanks!Ashu

I have a TCL QM8K and for the first months with my setup everything was working fine. I have the Beam Gen 2 connected to the ARC port of the TV and Play:1 as surround speakers. I was able to play movies with AAC 5.1 or 7.1 with no problem. Now the movies with AAC only plays as PCM 2.0. I have no idea if it was an update that caused this. I even downgraded my TV OS to see if that was the problem but it wasn’t. I have a huge catalog of movies and a lot of them are only in AAC multichannel. I don’t know what to do. 

I have a Home Automation Inc (HAI) Hi-Fi2, 8 zone sound system that I am interested in replacing as it is working intermittently and the manufacturer has discontinued the product.  Each zone corresponds to a room in the house with 2 speakers mounted in the ceiling and a small control panel.  All the speakers/control panels are wired and run back to the main Hi-Fi2 control box.  The main control box has numerous audio inputs allowing you to select (via the small control panel in each room) from multiple line-in sources (e.g. amplifier, iPhone, CD player, etc.) .  My questions: Is there a Sonos product that could be used to replace the HAI Hi-Fi2 box, but still use the existing speakers?  I’m assuming the Sonos App would replace the individual control panels.  Would I still have the option to connect and select from multiple line-in sources? Is this a DIY installation or do I need a professional?  (I am comfortable with computers, networks, hand/power tools and can follow instructions).A

Bonjour,  je possède un système sonos avec deux play 5, deux play 1 et un connect. Le tout étant de première génération. L'ensemble fonctionne en multiroom uniquement avec l'application Sonos 1 sans mise à jour depuis très longtemps. Est-il possible d'intégrer un ampli zoneplayer 120 à mon dispositif  ? Sachant que l'ajout d'un nouvel appareil est tributaire d'une mise à jour. Y a t'il une solution ? Comment dois-je procéder ? Merci beaucoup par avance pour vos réponses. 

Hi, My Sonos One is not working. My regular Alexa and Google Dot are both working.What do I do to get it set back up and working? Thank you

Yesterday Alexa just stopped working on my Arc, not sure why. I have tried unplugging and restarting everything including the router. Also reinstalling Amazon Alexa, the Sonos app is not helpful in this process. It would not reload or setup. Back when it was working it has always had an annoying habit of hearing something that remotely sounds like Alexa and mutes the sound for a few seconds. In the age of super clever tech why on earth does it do this? And how can I get Alexa working again? 

When the new app was released, we were promised that all the missing features would return within a few months. But as we all know, it ended up taking much longer than that. In the middle of all the confusion, I asked Sonos directly if — and when — the volume button shortcut to the Equaliser would come back. I quickly got a reply saying it was just around the corner, and that it was now a priority since many users had contacted Sonos specifically about this missing shortcut. Well… it’s now been almost a year since I was told it was just around the corner. So I hope it’s okay for me to ask here: When can we realistically expect it to return?
